Marcar encontros connosco mesmo

September 9, 2022 Melanie Hawken

por Wilma Cavaleiro

Vivemos numa realidade em que ser saudável passa por ser magro, embora as pessoas sintam uma forte pressão para aceitar todos os padrões , sobretudo porque o importante é o bem-estar físico, mental e emocional de cada pessoa. Este conceito vai exercer melhor os diversos “papeis” para a família.


A passagem para uma rotina considerada “saudável” com a alimentação cuidada, aliada aos exercícios físicos regulares,  é difícil e exige dedicação integral da pessoa. Este processo exige a sua disciplina. Paulatinamente os resultados passam a ser visíveis. A pessoa se descobre a cada dia, cada vez mais forte emocionalmente e mais enérgico.

O cruzamento desta fase transitória traz mudanças irreversíveis, pois o horizonte a alcançar é muito gratificante e reserva desafios cada vez mais excitantes, muito por conta da adaptação do organismo.

Segundo especialistas, as mudanças podem abranger os órgãos internos , incluindo o responsável pela reprodução; o útero. Exteriormente o maior órgão do corpo, a pele. A mudança significativa contribui para o aumento da auto-estima.

As pessoas que nos rodeiam, aliado ao factor tempo, podem influenciar na toma de decisões a todo tempo, algumas delas precipitadas. Se optar por comer aquilo que deseja faça-o sem culpa, pois ninguém nos obriga a comer o que eventualmente poderá influenciar no resultado final: o aumento de peso. Nesta conformidade, seremos nós mesmas responsáveis pelos nosso actos.

Com o surgimento das redes sociais, hoje muita informação poder ser encontrada na internet, passada por especialistas. A busca por resultados imediatos, com recurso a suplementos "milagrosos", com dicas passadas por terceiros, podem tornar-se numa "bomba relógio".

Conteúdos sobre alimentação, exercícios e o repouso, se cumpridos com rigor, os resultados serão atingidos mais próximos daquilo que almejamos.

Vale muito sermos pessoas melhores num corpo e mente que ajudamos a moldar. Caso seja necessário transportar os nossos sonhos para a realidade, vamos fazê-lo. Basta procurar motivação a cada dia, marcar encontros connosco mesmo, ser felizes até pelo respirar ofegante após uma corrida matinal.


Make appointments with yourself

by Wilma Cavaleiro

We live in a reality where being healthy is about being thin, although people feel a strong pressure to accept all standards, especially because the important thing is the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of each person. This concept will better exercise the different “roles” for the family.

The transition to a routine considered “healthy” with careful eating, combined with regular physical exercises, is difficult and requires full dedication from the person. This process requires your discipline. The results gradually become visible. The person finds himself every day, getting stronger emotionally and more energetic.

The crossing of this transitional phase brings irreversible changes, as the horizon to be reached is very gratifying and holds increasingly exciting challenges, largely due to the adaptation of the organism.

According to experts, the changes may include internal organs, including the person responsible for reproduction; the uterus. Outwardly the largest organ in the body, the skin. The significant change contributes to the increase in self-esteem.

The people around us, allied to the time factor, can influence decision-making at all times, some of them hasty. If you choose to eat what you want, do it without guilt, because nobody forces us to eat what may eventually influence the final result: weight gain. Accordingly, we will be responsible for our actions ourselves.

With the emergence of social networks, today much information can be found on the internet, passed on by experts. The search for immediate results, using "miraculous" supplements, with tips given by third parties, can become a "time bomb".

Contents about food, exercise, and rest, if strictly carried out, the results will be achieved closer to what we want.

It is worthwhile to be better people in a body and mind that we help to shape. If it is necessary to transport our dreams to reality, we will do so. Just look for motivation every day, make appointments with yourself, be happy even with the wheezing after a morning run.
